The reggae fest came to Montreal, and I wrote a piece about Bunny Wailer, but the man didn’t make it. In the Hour, Richard Burnett outlined previous Wailer-related disappointments, but the press release, issued at 2:12 AM the day of the show, demonstrated a little more than disappointment with their expected headliner by stating “Bunny Hops out of Montreal International Festival and rabbits back into his hole!” Seems that Bunny and band didn’t pick up their Canadian visas while in the UK.

Next week is the Inaugural Rastafari Studies Conference at the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus in Kingston, JA. I’ll be there presenting a paper, moderating a panel and hopefully enjoying a few mega patties while I’m at it.
